No, not as far as I know. InTrec completed the Macintosh version
of ProTERM first, although I think that was rather foolish considering
how much of a small niche market the Mac has become (besides, PC's are
better suited for a port of ProTERM, having a text character generator
for one thing, just like the Apple II).
I continue to use ProTERM almost religiously on my Apple IIgs, to
access my shell account, dial-up local BBSes, for null-modem transfers,
viewing ASCII text files and yes, even as a word-processor (honestly, I
much prefer the built-in editor to any other an the Apple II, including
AppleWorks!). Since InTrec is hosting this year's KFest, perhaps someone
might want to ask them about the possibility of still doing a PC port of
ProTERM. Terminate for DOS is nice, but I still want ProTERM. :)
